The Orlando Pride have placed head coach Amanda Cromwell on leave amid an investigation into alleged retaliation, the NWSL announced on Tuesday.
The NWSL and NWSLPA Joint Investigative Team recommended that Cromwell and assistant coach Sam Greene be placed on temporary administrative leave while the investigation continues, a recommendation that the Pride accepted.
Pride assistant coach Seb Hines will serve as interim coach while the investigation is ongoing. The Pride will make a decision on the future of Cromwell and Greene following the conclusion of the investigation.
